Blaine sighed as he leaned on the counter. "It seems that no one comes here on a Monday."

Christy, a girl who works at the coffee shop with Blaine, "I am always surprised by this information."

"Isn't anyone," Blaine shrugged.

"Oh a customer," Christy stood up straighter, "Wait it's only your man."

Blaine smiled as Kurt walked inside, "And what do I owe the pleasure?" he teased.

Kurt leaned over to the counter and gave Blaine a kiss, "Actually since you working the afternoon shift, I figured I would drop off a snack."

"Cookies," Blaine said excitedly as he took the bag from Kurt.

Christy laughed, "As a twenty two year old engaged man you get excited over cookies?"

"If they are Kurt's cookies, then yes," Blaine opened the bag and took out a cookie.

Kurt smiled, "If you only would have seen him when he first tried them. He went nuts. I was quite surprised since he is quite the cookie maker himself."

Blaine took a bite, "Not the same cookies though. You make the fancy kinds though. I just make plain old chocolate chip and sugar cookies."

"Those are my favorites," Kurt said, "Would you like one Christy, I'm sure Blaine wouldn't mind sharing."

Blaine pouted his lower lip, "But these are mine."

"There is more at home Blaine," Kurt rolled his eyes, "Plus we have Christmas Eve to look forward too."

"What's Christmas Eve?" Christy asked as Blaine finally handed her a cookie. She took a bite, "Oh these are good. I understand why you want to hide these from people."

"See," Blaine said giving Kurt a smile.

Kurt shook his head, "The both of you are like two peas in a pod."

"How long do you have until you have to get back?" Blaine asked him as he munched on another cookie.

"Just a few minutes," Kurt said, "I guess I'm lucky you work at a coffee shop that's so close to my work."

"I should be the lucky one," Blaine smiled over at him.

Christy made a face, "You two are just too adorable for words and I can't stand it. So I am going to go refill the creamer over there," she picked up a container and walked out from around the counter.

Blaine just giggled as he looked over at Kurt, "I suppose we do that oh to often."

"Ashley encouraged it," Kurt said with a laugh. "I sometimes miss that girl."

"She will be here soon enough," Blaine said with a shrug.

Kurt nodded his head, "I'm glad she finally decided to come out here. When is she due out here anyways?"

"I think she finally decided in February, but she is coming to visit for Christmas of course," Blaine said as he started making Kurt's coffee order.

Kurt hummed, "That's good. I know Cassidy misses her."

"Cassidy gets far to attached to people sometimes," Blaine smiled, "But then again that may be true for me as well."

"I think it's sweet," Kurt said watching Blaine mixing the drink behind his station. "Your finals start during your night class tonight?"

"Yep," Blaine said jumping on his feet, "I really hope I studied enough."

"Honey I've never seen anyone study as much you do," Kurt smiled at him.

Blaine gave a small shrug, "I need to keep my grades up to keep my scholarships and then I need good grades to stay in my program."

"Hey," Kurt said reaching across the counter and touching Blaine's arm, "I believe in you. You are one of the smartest guys I know and anything you put your mind onto I know you will succeed."

Blaine set his coffee down in front of Kurt, "I guess."

"No, don't guess," Kurt shook his head, "Know. You are going to do great Blaine and one day when you have your own classroom you will think back and say to yourself, Kurt really knew what he was talking about."

Blaine let out a laugh, "If I say that then I hope I really mean it."

Kurt smiled at him, "Now I need to get back and no more of this worrying. I will text tonight just to make sure too."

"I imagine you will," Blaine said with a smile.

"Can't let my man down," Kurt leaned over the counter and gave him another kiss, "I'll see you later tonight." He picked up his coffee and left the small shop with a wave.

Christy walked behind the counter, "Glad that's over. Not that I don't think you two are perfect for each other, but you two are just to much for someone who doesn't have a boyfriend."

Blaine reached over and grabbed his friend in for a hug, "Hey, I'm sorry."

Christy shook her head, "No, I shouldn't have said that."

"I understand, you know I didn't always have Kurt," Blaine said and then someone walked in the shop.

The customer ordered his coffee and Blaine made it for him, before sending him off.

"Blaine you don't have to apologize," Christy shook her head.

"I wasn't going to," Blaine gave her a look, "I was just going to say that I've been in your position and I suppose I know what it's like."

Christy sighed, "I really shouldn't have said anything. I can't wait for you wedding and it will be beautiful."

"We all have ghosts in our past," Blaine hugged her again.

"Yeah yeah," Christy sighed, "Now I need you to tell me about Cassidy's holiday show she is going to have because I expect an invitation."

"And you are getting one," Blaine said to her with a wink, "Just imagine all of the goofy songs those kids will be singing."

"Only the best singing," Christy said with a laugh.

"Did you wish Blaine good luck on his test?" Cassidy asked Kurt as she leaned on the edge of the couch.

"I did," Kurt nodded, "And he just started a few minutes ago. Let's keep our fingers and toes crossed."

"I will," Cassidy said excitedly.

Kurt smiled, "So how was your new class today?"

"Wonderful," Cassidy sat down next to Kurt, "I get to sit next to Jeremy at a table all to ourselves. And the other kids are so nice and I like Mrs. Hoover better too."

"I'm happy to hear that Sissy," Kurt smiled down at her, "So has Jeremy said anything to you yet?"

"No," Cassidy shook her head, "But for some reason I just know what he wants to say."

"You know I've heard that people who can listen to each other like that are meant for each other," Kurt said to her.

Cassidy made a face, "Like you and Blaine?"

Kurt let out a laugh, "Yes like Blaine and I."

"But I don't like Jeremy like that," Cassidy said to Kurt.

"You don't have to like him like that," Kurt said reaching over and touching her hair, "I was just stating an opinion some people have."

"If I liked a boy like Blaine likes you does that mean I'll have to marry him one day?" Cassidy asked.

Kurt shook his head with a laugh, "Not necessarily. Do you like someone like that?"

Cassidy shrugged, "I don't know."

"Well I believe you have time to think about it," Kurt wrapped an arm around Cassidy, "Now I purpose we go into the kitchen and make Blaine his favorite dessert."

"We're making a cookie casserole?" Cassidy asked excitedly.

Kurt gave her a look, "Isn't that your favorite dessert?"

Cassidy giggled, "Maybe."

"Well then I think we should go make Blaine's favorite which happens to be your specialty," Kurt smiled at her.

The door opened with Blaine walking in slowly and he jumped back when he heard a shout.

"Congratulations!"

Blaine laughed, "Why are we shouting congratulations?" he asked them.

Kurt and Cassidy ran over to him, "On you're very first completed final of your professional classes of course," he told him. "Now we made you your favorite dessert."

"You did?" Blaine asked with wide eyes, "We don't even know if I passed yet."

"Of course you passed," Cassidy waved her hand, "You're my brother and you get all the good grades."

"I'm with her," Kurt said pointing to Cassidy.

Blaine smiled shyly and looked down shaking his head, "You two have way too much faith in me."

"We have just enough," Kurt said.

Blaine pulled his bag off, "Now what about this favorite dessert?"

Cassidy took his arm and pulled him into the kitchen, "Ta da!"

On the counter sat a simple chocolate pie, with a graham cracker crust. He smiled, "I love it."

"Let's dig in then," Kurt said holding up a pie server, "And I think I know who gets the first piece."

"I do," Cassidy raised her hand in the air, but then by the look Kurt was giving her, she slowly lowered it, "I think Blaine does."

"Good answer," Kurt said with a smile. Blaine just laughed at his family.
